Unmet Needs:
The fastest growing population group in the United States (US) and the largest ethnic minority, Hispanics (also often referred to as Latinos) are projected to constitute nearly 30% of the nation’s population by 2060 (Colby & Ortman, 2014). According to the results acquired from the study conducted to analyze if changes to legal status impact psychological wellbeing among Latino immigrant young adults suggest that the change from undocumented to lawfully present immigrants is associated with positive health outcomes.
